Welcome to my Second Channel 😅

I actually really like overnight flights for the simple fact it makes me feel like I'm not wasting a big chunk of the day on a flight. I figure I'd normally be asleep so if I get any sleep (true it will be a small percentage of my normal sleep), it's exciting to wake up and start the day in a whole new place in the world. Been taking red eyes for years and never regretted it!

Introducing “Mini Josh” ! Great to catch your brief review, mate. The tough things you do, to save us having to do them. You deserve a medal. I agree, overnight flights are the pits, unless you’re tucked into a comfy bed upstairs or at the front. They may sometimes be cheaper, but when you arrive at your hotel in our part of the globe, it’s too early to check-in, so you have to pay a day surcharge. Here’s cheers for your second channel 🎉! Will

I love your content. Super excited for the second channel

After watching the boeing documentary on Netflix, lion air will always have my respect 🙏🏽

Makes me worry about how the crew would handle an emergency if they are that fatigued 😮 another great video Josh 😊

So Lion Air offered you a no-frills flight from Mumbai to Bangkok and they carried you cheaply from Mumbai to Bangkok. Mission accomplished! It is surprising that they didn't have either pre-paid meals or at least refreshments for sale on the flight. They could make good money out of these extras. But they got you there. Hope you had a good sleep in Bangkok.

Sometimes experiencing the worst makes the good feel great.

As I'm a Thai, I rate Thai Lion Air as the worst seat and legroom over Thai sky. Actually, you are lucky to get the -800 since its -900er has lesser legroom at 29". However, with the cheaper price and the baggage is included in airfare, it is a good choice for domestic flight. But I (and many people I know) avoid its flights taking more than 2 hrs., like from Bangkok to Taiwan, China, India, or Indonesia.

I recently flew from KTM to DXB on Fly Dubai, very similar experience. Jam packed, horrible seats no legroom. The crew visible stressed people not listening still using mobile phones on take off. They served us lunch ( wish they didn’t) small chicken sausage, something similar to omelette & Baked Beans! Constant line at the toilets then one of them appeared to be blocked up then the line got longer making it near impossible for the crew to clean up after meal. Got what I paid for !

What would you expect from low cost airlines, its just basics & no frills. In current times with expensive flight tickets, for people who still require to travel & cost conscious, budget carriers are the preferred choice. If you want proper services, with the head rest then fly full service carrier.

Avoid overnight flights whenever possible. Living on the west coast of the US, a European flights are red eyes. For an upcoming trip to London, I am flying to JFK, staying at the TWA hotel, then taking the 8am Virgin Atlantic flight to LHR. Truly a great way to avoid jet lag.

Flights between Thailand and India are often at this late odd hours. Thai Lion Air 737 is definitely not for any flight longer than 2 hours. Very tight legroom as u’ve just experienced. Thanks for the review.

Your content is really impressive Josh! Glad you started up a shorts channel!

You Should Try Lion Air Indonesian Domestic Route it's not that good. More Delayed and More Crowded.

What's worse than an overnight flight is an overnight layover in an airport with no hotel! I flew Malaysian from Tokyo to Kuala Lampur with an overnight layover in KUL then to Bangkok the next morning. Had a whole row to myself on Malaysian and slept comfortably but got wierd glances from the staff for sleeping during the flight. Overnight layover is not fun. Everything is closed, the atmosphere is just out of sorts. But I survived, and after making a few rounds walking around the airport, I found a nice comfy seat to sleep in and nearly overslept and missed my morning flight until they called my name for the last call! I hauled my butt to the Thai flight and just barely made it! Went back the same way but took day flights. That certainly was the way to go! KUL was open and bustling and could grab some food an souveniers before heading back to Tokyo.

I like overnight flights when I'm travelling to a destination, yes I'm tired, but I get a full day in my destination rather then maybe late afternoon or just the evening to enjoy. For coming home, it's getting home as late as possible so I can enjoy my final day, instead of checking out super early to get to the airport.

I usually fly with them for my diving trips to Indonesia where I take Singapore airlines from Europe untill manado and from Manado to Sorong Lion Air 737-900 which was alright as it is a short day flight. Also I was lucky to get the emergency exit row.

I understand you, Josh. I also questioned myself about my decision-making back in August. I flew from Athens to CPH at 1:40AM and arrived at 4AM, I didn't sleep well because of the full house flight and I couldn't check in to a hotel early, it is tough for me. Btw, I learned from it but I won't stop traveling!

As always you get what you pay for. Budget is a clue.

I'm surprised that your stay at Taj was bad, normally it's really good

Hotel tip at Don Muang: the Amari across the highway. There is a foot bridge from the terminal straight into the lobby! Think they also have day use prices.

when josh doesn't get a seat alone in an aircraft, he will always find the airline company bad 😌

In thai lion air you can ask for sit in emergency exit row free :) i do every time

I prefer overnight flights because the airports and roads leading to/from the airport are not congested. There is also less heat in the night so little or no discomfort even when the AC in the terminal building is unserviceable.

Hey Josh great idea to make a second channel

Mate I agree I don’t like overnight flights either, but coming from New Zealand the flights home are usually all over night which sucks! So I’m forced to get used to it. But I’ll always pick a day flight over a night one any day 😊

Lovely video mate! Appreciate your dedication 🎉

Awesome to have new content , those red eye flights are brutal , have a good day and Prost 🍻.

Just found this channel. Now I can binge watch all here.

I don't usually like overnight flights, but I always sleep really well on the Qatar 1am flight from jakarta to Doha

LCC save our money for sure, especially me went backpacker to another country, if you need a comfortable you can choose a premium or full services flight

They used to fly to Colombo before the pandemic. Flew on their 737-800 to DMK. The flight was relatively okay, but legroom was non-existent. They seem to have got rid of the hot meal 😕

True brother night flight un a budget carreer is a nightmare. You are right probably they should be taken for 1 hour flight only and in daytime.

Well, just had the Thai Lion Air experience from DMK to CNX. Had same aircraft registration witin 5 days for the return flight. Half of the sidewall lights were inoperative, so was a quart of the ceiling lights. Very much doubt the technical state of the 737 we were in. The landing back at Bangkok was more of a controlled crash on the left main gear, I could hear the tires skidding before the aircraft resumed normal deceleration.

I love them....like you said you avoid crowds and traffic

7:54 « additional inflation is possible » it hit hard 😬😬😬😬

I generally try to avoid overnight flights. However, the quiet airports are a bonus, especially at small, busy island airports. Heraklion, Crete being one.

Josh Budget operator and red eye combo ouch ! . On a lot of the flights from USA to the UK arrive around 7am and I’ve always had that taste/feeling after the deplaning on arrival .

Hey great videos josh! Please come to Taiwan again!

Hi Josh, when will you be posting again on your second channel?

Let us know when you are planning an overnight flight and we will remind you of this flight.😁

Why‼️ Why‼️ I feel you bro.Yeah i did one last year on a connecting flight , wasn’t good.😅

I avoid overnight flights. I flew Bangkok to Chiang Rai and the flight was fine.

Overnight flight, espec if there's a connection, are the worst. You book them thinking this time I'll just sleep through it when you never really do. You end up, the day next day, feeling like you're suffering from a slight hangover, trying to feel normal again.

I've never flown with them because of the reviews from others as well. But If it was a domestic flight no move than 2hrs inside Thailand I would after seeing this. I saw the flight attendants being very respectful and that changed my mind.

2 Josh Hill KZfaq pages? Glory! Lion Air.... wowee.....

Didn’t know you had 2 channels josh

I’ve flown on these internally in Thailand, wasn’t that bad, no worse than Air Asia or Nok Air

They are usually cheaper....but, you pay a different price with your sleeping rhythm.

Me too! Too many times I’ve told myself never again only to do it again.😂

Remember the crash of flight 610 in 2018, Indonesia had a bad safety aviation record

No food or water for the entire 5 hour flight? Damn that's rough

I'm the same - I avoid budget carriers overnight. Didn't look fun :)

I’ve been in Lion air. It’s ok but- never on time always delayed.

Nice video! Did they by chance have a prayer card in the seat pocket in front?

I actually look forward to your review of their brand new A330neo lol

Already booked for December 😢 They had return tickets for 150 usd

The worst part when we having a flight is flight delay like its very annoying

I loathe midnight horror flights, however they are doable with a flat bed👏

The advantages of a night flight (to me) is that you can leave after work (assuming you have a 9 - 5 or job with similar hours) and once the flight arrives, you are there early in the morning and can take advantage of the flights the next morning if you have a connection.

Got the worst combination, LCC and an overnight flight..

Lion air I used Bangkok to Krabi. It was so good

Who says germans are boring.. This guy is friendly, honest and has a great smile. Subscribed buddy hope to see you someday on a flight. Regarding your question of overnight flights, i have had a lot of them because they are cheaper.

Yes, you definitely get what you pay for. Flying ThaiLionAir longer than one hour flight is definitely NOT to be recommended ! Also, Don Muang Airport in Bangkok is very dated.

I try to travel overnight as much as I can. Saves a lot of time for me

Finally Josh reviewed Lion Air, I remember very well how the son of the Indonesian president made a tweet on his Twitter. he tweeted that his luggage had strayed to Medan, even though his flight was to Surabaya. But at that time he didn't fly using Lion, but Batik Air (in the same group as Lion Air). maybe for IFE I think Lion Air has it, but that's through an application called Tripper. The point is you have to try Lion Air in Indonesia Josh, that's what you're reviewing isn't that bad, in Indonesia you might be surprised. Maybe you can review all the airlines in Indonesia Josh, such as Batik, Citilink, Super Air Jet, Garuda Indonesia, Trans Nusa, Sriwijaya, Nam air, & Pelita.

Your secondary content is very good👍. I flown Indonesian Lion Air twice and it's good despite the fact many people thinks Lion Air always delays many times for quite sometime

overnight flight is still good for me but not on a low cost airline

I hate night flights. Lots of people sleeping when I can't. Daytime for me.

Bad companies , 4 hours late and no compensation !! Run guys !!

Josh forget about reviewing low budget airlines

Josh takes one for the team!

Flight time was 12-5 in night, so don't think serving food made sense. You are being too harsh in this scenario. I prefer night or early morning flights doesn't feel like wasting time and everything happens without much rush.

I like an overnight flight of 7 hours or longer. I don waste time on flying during the day and have enough time have a sleep on a plane after dinner is served.

At least no delay on this flight 🤣 Lion air always delay and sometimes more than 12 hours.

Josh kannst du mal mit alliance air fliegen?

done subscribing Josh!

I just watched your entire video and I do have a few laughs, I do exactly the same thing that’s why I probably can relate to you sitting at home going. It’s okay, I can do three connections at four in the morning at eight and set on a packed flight it’s only five hours but then reality kicks in and you’re actually owners doing us. Are you wonder to yourself why do I do this to myself? The worst one is arriving in an airport at two in the morning with a connecting flight at seven or eight in the same morning and you think it’s okay I will sleep on the couch at the airport I’m sure I’ll find something comfortable and then you find yourself sleeping on your concrete floor outside the terminal building and people don’t understand you’re trying to sleep because you’re in an airport on the floor!!

What will you post on your second channel as opposed to your first?

I recommend flying them from Tiepei to Bangkok they have better planes On that route. Their A330s are better than the 737s

I like overnight flights but I wouldn't fly overnight on a budget airline.

I love your unbiased and informative content Josh! It is interesting that Lion Air did not offer food for purchase on board the flight. All European low cost airlines eg. Ryanair, Wizz Air, offer food for purchase on board...

As a flight attendant I love overnight flights I just don't know why

Hey why you stop uploading videos for this channel

Redeye flights are the best in my opinion

Thanks great man

I don't mind them at all.

Well, Lion Group is the biggest airline in South East Asia. And even with Lion Air reputation for "bad service", they still make money with those businesses model.

For being a midnight flight there were a lot of kids

They fly from udon Thani to BKK for around 600bht it's about half of Thai smile I still pay the extra and go Thai smile I'd never fly with lion air.

Being an indonesian i know what is feals its the most used airline but its worst then ryanair

What are you putting you room key card In when you go into the hotel room?

Lion Air much better than Ryanair!

Please fly to Indonesia too 🇮🇩, Josh

I am a DJ, sleep is premium on flights, especially long haul. I like night flights to sleep all the way 🤣😴

Very nice video josh , but where is the el Al review ??

Ok for 2 or less hours. Not more.

Josh you were supposed to review El Al in the past recent days. Where is that review? Love you from Pakistan 🇵🇰 EDIT: Josh one more thing if you travel from Karachi to any Middle Eastern country all of the flights depart after midnight and before sunrise 😹

I used to do that too, and then when you’re on the flight you’re thinking to yourself, why did I do that again? So these days I don’t do that I travel on the major airlines. I am also going to Mumbai today but I’m flying with Thai Airways, it’s an international star alliance airlines it’s quality service. The aeroplane is nice and the staff are quite pleasant, arrives in at 10 o’clock leaves Bangkok at seven perfect timing! I only fly budget airlines now when I really have to sometimes you save 60 $70, but when you’re on the plane you’re wondering to yourself why am I doing this to myself? The other thing is God forbid, if anything happens, dealing with a budget airlines, you’re not gonna get Jack shit from theM
